[SOLVED] rEFInd will not load

I've been trying to configure rEFInd, and I have my refind_linux.conf file set up according to the wiki (with the actual PARTUUID of my filesystem instead of X's):

"Boot using default options"     "root=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX rw add_efi_memmap"
"Boot using fallback initramfs"  "root=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX rw add_efi_memmap initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img"
"Boot to terminal"               "root=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX rw add_efi_memmap systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

I have not made any changes to the refind.conf file besides changing the timeout to 10 seconds.

But when I reboot and take out my installation USB, I get a blank screen instead of the rEFInd screen. rEFInd is first in the system boot priority list, and I am dual-booting Arch with Windows 10.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help. Thank you in advance.

Apologies for wasting your time. I changed the boot order and rEFInd works just fine now.
